HISTORICAL CONTEXT AND THE CANNON HAMMER
Chen Style Taijiquan New Frame Routine Two, famously known as 'Pao Chui' or Cannon Hammer, is the more aggressive and explosive counterpart to the First Routine. Within the New Frame system developed by Grandmaster Chen Fake, the Second Routine represents the pinnacle of 'Martial Hardness' and 'Explosive Force.' This DVD is taught by Grandmaster Wang Xi'an, an 11th generation heir and a world-renowned authority on the combat aspects of Taijiquan. Historically, the Cannon Hammer was the routine used to train the 'Fierce and Fast' applications of the Chen family art, focusing on high-speed strikes and devastating power. Master Wang’s demonstration captures the raw, athletic energy of this routine, providing a direct link to the 'Technical Attack' traditions of Chenjiagou. It is a vital study for those who wish to understand the 'Hard' side of the Taiji duality.
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND FOUR CORNER HANDS
The New Frame Routine Two is characterized by its 'Complexity and Firmness.' Unlike the First Routine, which focuses on the 'Four Square' energies, the Cannon Hammer emphasizes the 'Four Corner' hand techniques: Pull-down (Cai), Splitting (Lie), Elbowing (Zhou), and Leaning (Kao). These are the primary tools for close-quarters combat and explosive striking. The routine is 'Firmness-Orientated,' featuring frequent 'Stamping' (Zhen Jiao), 'Scuttling,' and 'Jumping.' The technical routine focuses on the 'Elastic Force' (Tan Xing Jin), where the practitioner's body acts like a coiled spring. Externally, the form displays 'Fortitude and Agility,' while internally it is governed by a powerful 'Internal Movement' that precedes every external action. The movements are 'Linked Successively' without any letup, creating a relentless barrage of energy.
BIO-MECHANICAL ALIGNMENT AND EXPLOSIVE FORCE
The bio-mechanics of the Cannon Hammer require a high degree of 'Body-Mind Integration' and 'Kinetic Chain Coordination.' Grandmaster Wang demonstrates how the power is drawn from the ground through 'Stamping' and transmitted through the 'Python Waist' to the extremities. The rule of 'Without Internal Movement, Without External Action' is paramount here; every explosive strike must be powered by the Dantian. The routine requires 'Leading the Whole Body with Hands,' matched with 'Agile Footwork' to navigate the combat space. The 'Silk Reeling' energy (Chan Si Jin) is used to maintain a 'Fluid Structure' even during high-speed, high-impact movements. This structural discipline ensures that the 'Fa-Jin' is 'Complete and Unified,' delivering maximum force without compromising the practitioner's balance or safety.
CULTIVATION AND COMBAT MASTERY
This 112-minute instructional DVD provides a comprehensive breakdown of the New Frame Routine Two. Master Wang Xi'an focuses on the 'Technical Routine' details that make the Cannon Hammer such a formidable martial art. He illustrates the 'Combat Applications' of each movement, showing how to transition from a soft neutralization to a hard strike in a fraction of a second. The practice of this routine builds 'Martial Agility' and functional strength, making it an excellent choice for those seeking to enhance their self-defense skills. Beyond the physical, the routine is a form of 'Internal Alchemy' that cultivates a powerful and focused spirit. By mastering the Cannon Hammer, the practitioner achieves a level of 'Firmness and Internal Force' that is the hallmark of the Chen family lineage, providing a complete understanding of the 'Hard-Soft' integration of Taijiquan.
